Harassed in Kick Chat or on a Livestream: Report and Block

You are watching or streaming on Kick, and the same person keeps posting cruel messages in chat. Or a group arrives at once and floods your stream. It might move to clips or VODs that target you. Kick has separate tools for each of these, and picking the right one gets faster results. This guide covers Kick's official mute, block and report tools, and when to email Kick directly.

#Quick Answer

If someone is harassing you in Kick chat or on a livestream, click their message or username, select Report, choose Bullying or harassment or the closest category, add what happened and submit. Then block them. For serious threats or coordinated attacks, email Kick's security team, and contact local emergency services if you are in danger.

#Mute, Block or Report: Kick's Own Map

Kick's guide to blocking, muting and reporting sets out what each tool does. The table below follows it.

Kick says mild rudeness or someone you simply do not like is usually best handled with mute or block. It also says that when in doubt, report it, because its team would rather review a report that turns out to be nothing than miss something serious.

#How to Report a Chat Message or Chatter

Kick's guide to submitting a report says that on Kick you report content: live streams, VODs, clips and chat messages. You cannot report a profile or channel page on its own, so report the content where the behaviour happens. Kick has no direct messages.

1. On the web, click the message or the chatter's username in chat. In the mobile app, tap the chatter's username.
2. Select Report.
3. Choose the category that best matches the issue.
4. Add details: what happened and when.
5. Submit the report.

For a stream or VOD on the web, open the channel or VOD page and click the Report icon at the bottom right of the player. For a clip, open it, click the three dots and select Report. Kick says all reports are anonymous, and the person you report is never told who reported them.

#Which Category to Choose

Kick's report categories include Bullying or harassment, Hate speech, Doxxing, Violence, Sexually explicit content, Child endangerment, Self-harm, Fraud and deception, and Serious unlawful conduct, among others. Pick the one closest to what you saw. For targeted cruel messages, that is usually Bullying or harassment. If someone posts personal information about you, choose Doxxing. Kick's Community Guidelines say doxxing, the release of private personal information or non-consensual intimate images, is strictly prohibited.

You do not need to repeat what was said in your report. A short description, the time and the category are enough for Kick's team to find it.

#If You Are the Streamer

Streamers have extra tools on their own channel. Kick's guide says channel-level bans are managed by the streamer, so you and your moderators can time out or ban chatters from your channel, while Kick handles platform-wide action through reports. Use both layers: remove the person from your chat, then report the messages so Kick can look at the account across the platform.

• Agree in advance with your moderators which messages they remove and which they also report.
• Note the time of each incident against your VOD, so a report can point to the exact moment.
• Report the messages themselves, not the person's channel page, because Kick reviews content.
• If a group arrives together, report the most serious messages first and mention that it is coordinated.

#When to Email Kick Instead

Kick's reporting guide says that for some issues email is the right channel, while its review guide says the in-app Report button is the right path for most situations.

• Serious threats or coordinated harassment: security@kick.com.
• Intimate images shared without consent: takeitdown@kick.com.
• Copyright: dmca@kick.com.
• Other breaches of the Terms of Service: support@kick.com.

Kick asks you to include your Kick username, links to the content, what happened, and screenshots or timestamps if you have them. For intimate images, send links rather than copies, and do not forward or save the images themselves. Appeals about action taken against your own account go to appeals@kick.com, which is a separate route. Our guide to a Kick suspension appeal covers that side.

#If It Is a Coordinated Attack

Kick says harassment can come as cruel chat messages, coordinated attacks from multiple users, or doxxing attempts. Its advice if you are being harassed:

1. Do not engage. Kick says responding often makes things worse.
2. Block the user immediately.
3. Report the user with as many details as you can.
4. Take screenshots of the chat as evidence in case you need to escalate.
5. Talk to someone if it is affecting you. Kick points to its mental health and crisis resources.

Kick's guide on how it reviews user reports says urgent ongoing situations are prioritised, and that it does not act on coordinated false reports. It says it can detect groups mass reporting someone in bad faith and may act against the accounts involved. So do not ask your community to mass report an attacker back. Ask them to report once each, accurately. For a record that holds up, see our guide to collecting evidence before reporting harassment, and for the same problem on Twitch, our guide to Twitch harassment in whispers and chat.

#What Only Kick Can Decide

Kick decides whether a report breaks its rules and what action follows, from a warning to a permanent ban. It says you may not see the outcome of a report. If a streamer or their moderators banned you from a channel, that is managed by the streamer, and Kick suggests contacting them directly. If the problem continues or worsens, Kick says to report it again with new information.

#When It Is Safer to Get Expert Help

The real risks are plain. A coordinated attack can return on new accounts, doxxing can move off Kick, and every reply you give feeds it. Streamers who are live every day feel it most.

If the harassment keeps coming or you would rather not deal with it during streams, having an experienced team handle it is the safer choice. AwareXone logs the incidents, prepares clear reports and security emails you send from your own account, and helps you set up chat tools that fit your stream. We never ask for your password, stream key or codes, and we cannot promise any account will be banned. Apply for case review through our content removal help service, and read how we work on our trust page.
